What does it look like if my child has sensory needs? How do I know when to go for help and to whom? All of these answers will be addressed in this episode.

Dr. Gibbs shares that, "I don't care what diagnosis you're working on in my opinion you have to address sensory processing, because you first have to have your attention to do anything. You will not go to your pediatrician and get a diagnosis of sensory processing disorder. It’s not recognized as a diagnostic disorder. I would say start with a consultation first."
